The incongruity between price and quality (and also quantity) is quite something on this pub beer list.

The Christmas card from the Prince has arrived.

They did a run of Strong Suffolk at the end of 2023 but I don't know about later. I think 5X is mostly used for Old Crafty Hen.

At least you know where I've been.

I've been writing those same words for some time.

Robin Smith, bless him, judging a pack of racists needed to be silenced, from Derek Pringle’s obituary for the great England & Hampshire batsman. In an era when England struggled to win Tests, let alone Series, Smith was a fabulous player of frequently frighteningly fast bowling. I adored him.

I get asked quite often if it's possible to get my book about Children Of The Stones and all of ITV's other spooky fantasy-based seventies children's serials from the long-deleted DVD release from anywhere? Well, it's now available here... www.patreon.com/posts/comple...

My latest reviews for Drinks Retailing.

Well done, David.

Lovely film that highlights the value the BBC gives us. Early exposure for a young Ian Hislop too.

When I give my children's TV talks hardly anyone remembers Whirligig, even with audiences who are in their 70s and 80s. Shows just how few TV sets were around in the early 50s.

Defending our national treasure: the voice of the nation Politicians see the BBC through the lens of TV news, but those who want to undermine it threaten a central plank of our national culture

The BBC is a public service broadcaster - news, drama, music, documentary and at its heart, be it for children or adults, education.

It's World Service reaches around the world and in a fragmenting world it must survive, writes Stephen MacNair.

Whirligig A tribute to a much-loved Saturday teatime children's favourite, 75 years on.

Exactly 75 years ago today, BBC Television began regular broadcasting at Saturday teatimes with the very first episode of Whirligig, one of its first well-known, long-running children’s shows.

To mark the occasion, I’ve written a feature for the BBC website.

But if you’d like to know more… (1/3)

No spoilers.

West Coast music your thing? #Mastermind tonight has a round on the Laurel Canyon scene in the '60s and '70s set by me.

Time to repost my favourite Beatles typo.

Those UK journalists backing Trump - a man who endorses the murder of a journalist because he’s ‘controversial’ - against the BBC need to see if they can find their moral compass

Defending the BBC when truth is under siege Since my election, I have been a consistent advocate for the BBC. Not out of sentimentality, but because in an age saturated with disinformation, the BBC remains one of Britain’s strongest defences ag...

Good to see @peterprinsleymp.bsky.social support #BBC "It is striking that those most eager to discredit it on social media often present themselves as patriots. In truth, few actions are less patriotic than undermining an institution that contributes so profoundly to Britain’s identity."

Hooray! Just learned @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social is to air The Man From U.N.C.L.E. series!

Defending the WAC: Our Rights, Their Wrongs: The WAC Campaign To Date by John Wyver Just about exactly a year ago, on 19 November 2024, I e-mailed a group of colleagues expressing concern about the Terms of Use researchers had to sign up to it secure access to the immeasurably rich…
